In an interview, Shah Rukh addressed reports of his alleged affair with PeeCee and said she has been and will always be close to his heart.

In an old interview with Katrina Kaif, the Raees actor stated that it was very disturbing for him as the lady who has worked with him got questioned and was not shown the respect he shows her. Shah Rukh was quoted as saying, “To me, what is most disturbing is the fact that a lady who's worked with me has been questioned, and somewhere down the line, she's not being shown the kind of respect I show her or all the women. I think it’s a little disrespectful.” While apologizing to his fans, he added, “I'm extremely sorry about that. Sorry means... it’s not directly because of anything I’ve done but because she’s my friend. She’s one of the closest friends I have, very close to my heart, and always will be.” ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra REVEALS Why She Stayed Silent On Alleged Affairs With Shah Rukh Khan And Shahid Kapoor ; Speaks About Her Ouster From Karan Johar's Camp
